A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Carla for the third time. This time it was for her first birthday cake smash session. We decided on a rainbow theme for the smash - I was so happy as I'd wanted to do a rainbow cake smash since forever! (I LOVE rainbows!)

My cake smashes involve a little portrait session before everything gets a bit messy, and Carla came with a couple of gorgeous outfits for these photos!

I also wanted to incorporate the rainbows into a few images before we set up for the smash (did I mention I love rainbows?). I'd made a rainbow tutu especially for the session (DIY tutu blog post is coming!) and wanted to get a few photographs before it got covered in cake!

​I think the tutu ended up being almost as big as Carla! It was super cute though, don't you think?

Some babies don't like the cake, there is always the 'What if they don't eat it?' moment at the beginning of the cake smash. We needn't have worried with Carla, she's a girl after my own heart and loved her cake!

And of course it's not a cake smash session without a splash session to end (and save on baby wipes!!). Carla had so much fun and even bent right forward, put her face in the water and tried to eat the bubbles!!

If your baby is turning one (or two or three - or maybe even you are about to have a milestone birthday - who says babies can get all the fun?!) then please do get in touch to book your cake smash session today!
